CARTHAGE, Mo. – Young anglers can experience the fun of catching fish during the Kellogg Lake Boards, Carthage Community Partners, and the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Kids Free Fishing Day event in June.
Kids Free Fishing Day will be June 6 with fishing hours from 8 a.m. to noon at Kellogg Lake in Carthage.
Children ages 15 and under may participate. No registration required.
Children are encouraged to bring their own fishing equipment. Parents are welcome to help their children, but adults are also asked to let them fish by themselves as much as possible. Only one pole may be used between the helper and the child. Adults are not allowed to fish in the designated children’s fishing zone.
